    Beautiful image Jim.
    Questions : 1 ) Was camera set on high speed continuous ?
    2 ) Did you press the shutter when the raptor was in pre flight hunch position ?
    Really like the manual exposure and blurred BG (bokeh).

    It's a wonderful action shot. I like the diagonal formed in the image......and especially like the detail of the underneath wings. Well done.

    This is beautiful. I even like the barbed wire :D

    Jim,

    I know you are a big believer in hand-holding, but what do you think about something like a BushHawk as a good compromise between support and the freedom of hand-holding?
